I really don't understand the physics behind why the sudden increase in diameter right in the middle of the exhaust has that effect on this car, but results are results. I'm not sure why it works, but I know it works. lol

Edit: Here you go @TorqueMan777 Stock FP vs 63mm FP vs 70mm FP


It's not quite a 3" diameter, but I've no doubt the even larger pipe will have a similar result as I got with my 70mm pipe.

and E85 vs 91 petrol while I'm at it
